Ingredients

Mashed Potatoes

  • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

Stuffing

  • 6 cups stuffing cubes, unseasoned
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Turkey

  • 4 cups cooked turkey, cubed

Casserole Sauce

  • 2 (10.75-ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ cup sour cream, divided
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1-1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook for an additional 12-15 minutes (or until tender).
  • While potatoes are cooking, combine stuffing cubes, poultry seasoning, and sage in a large bowl. Stir in broth and pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  • In another large bowl, combine the turkey, soup, garlic powder, and ¼ cup sour cream. Spoon over the stuffing mixture.
  • Drain potatoes and mash in a large bowl. Beat in the cream cheese, pepper, salt, and remaining sour cream, and spread over the turkey mixture.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 30-35 minutes. ENJOY!

Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes can be used instead of making a fresh batch to save even more time.
  • Spread each layer evenly so every serving has stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes, and cheese.
  • Freshly shredded cheddar melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving so it slices more easily.
Store. Store leftover casserole in an airtight container(s) in the fridge for about 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
